2, Picture 3” and having the student repeat what the Assessor said• Physically guiding student• Providing students with smaller number of responses• Providing student with a smaller number of tasks Administration: Make sure the Assessor:• Places the proper series of cards one at a time in front of the student• Masks or removes cards already presented and places them face down to limit

distractions• Allows student to make corrections, if the student requests• Records each student response discreetly as it is provided• Maintains a neutral tone• Prompts if there is a delay with no response

Scoring: • Note: There are no partial credits; the score for a completely correct answer is 2 points,

a partially correct answer or an incorrect answer both earn 0 points.
